Candid conversations on Japan tensions, Xi’s power, and CCP’s future
Happy Thanksgiving! This marks the 5th-anniversary of Lei’s Real Talk. We’ll look back on the past five years and celebrate the occasion with a “Wisdom & Courage” song. I’m joined by a fellow China-focused YouTuber as we unpack one of the most significant geopolitical shifts unfolding right now: Japan’s new leadership, the sharp rise in Japan–China tensions, and what these changes mean for Xi Jinping’s grip on power and the CCP’s future. We break down why the Chinese Consul General in Osaka made such inflammatory remarks, how deeply the CCP has infiltrated Japan, and whether Beijing’s political influence is weakening heading into 2026. We also discuss Xi’s internal power struggles, the diaspora debate, and what Western policymakers still misunderstand about China. A rare and insightful look at Asia’s rapidly changing landscape.
